candlesprite7 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) Try letting your wax cool to about 160-165 then set the balloon in it and hold it there until the shell forms to the thickness you'd like. Cut around the outside edge of your shell with a sharp knife and quickly pull your candle out and set it on a flat level surface. Let cool some more then take the balloon out.It's not really a dipping thing it's more of just letting the balloon sit in the wax until the shell forms.Also to make it easier I rigged up a little pulley system so I didn't have to hold onto the balloon. My arms got tired holding the balloon for so long. Edited September 25, 2009 by candlesprite7 thought of more to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
